Answer:

In subduction of one plate over another on the basis of weight

Explanation:

When two plates moving and colliding, the plate with higher mass will subduct below the plate with lower weigh and lighter would remain above. generally continental types of plates are lighter in weight and oceanic plates are heavier.

Ex:- The collision of Eurasian plate and Indian plate. Indian plate is below and Eurasian plate above and formation of Himalaya

A transformer is intended to decrease the value of the alternating current from 500 amperes to 25 amperes. The primary coil cont

EastWind [94]

Answer:

The number of turns in secondary coil is 4000

Explanation:

Given:

Current in primary coil $I_{P} = 500$ A

Current in secondary coil $I_{S} = 25$ A

Number of turns in primary coil $N_{P} = 200$

In case of transformer the relation between current and number of turns is given by,

$\frac{N_{S} }{N_{P} } = \frac{I_{P} }{I_{S} }$

For finding number of turns in secondary coil,

$N_{S} = \frac{I_{P} }{I_{S} } N_{P}$

$N_{S} = \frac{500}{25} \times 200$

$N_{S} = 4000$

Therefore, the number of turns in secondary coil is 4000

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIST just please help with these problems 3

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

16. 68.18 Km/h

17. 3 miles.

Explanation:

16. Determination of the speed

Distance travelled = 150 Km

Time = 2.2 hours

Speed =?

Speed is simply defined as the distance travelled with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Speed = Distance / time

With the above formula, we can obtain the speed as follow:

Distance travelled = 150 Km

Time = 2.2 hours

Speed =?

Speed = Distance /time

Speed = 150 / 2.2

Speed = 68.18 Km/h

17. Determination of the distance.

Speed = 3 mph

Time = 1 hour

Distance =?

Speed = Distance /time

3 = distance / 1

Distance = 3 miles

In a tank full of water, the pressure on a surface 2 meters below the water level is 1.5 kPA. What's the pressure on a surface 6

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

P = 40.7kPa

Explanation:

To find the pressure on a surface 6 meter below you use the following formula, which takes into account the heights in which pressures are measured and also the density of the fluid and the gravitational acceleration:

$P_2-P_1=-\rho g(y_2-y_1)$ (1)

P2: pressure for a height of -6 m = ?

P1: pressure for a height of -2 m = 1.5kPa = 1500 Pa

ρ: density of water = 1000kg/m^3

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 ms^2

y2: -6m

y1: -2m

(the height is measure from the water level, because of that, the heights are negative)

You solve the equation (1) for P1:

$P_1=P_2-\rho g(y_2-y_1)$ (2)

Next, you replace the values of all variables in equation (2):

$P_2=1500Pa-(1000kg/m^3)(9.8m/s^2)(-6-(-2))m=40700Pa\\\\P_2=40.7kPa$

hence, the pressure on a surface 6 m below the water level is 40.7kPa
